Opteron = AMD's dual chips.

Also, would linux be a better bet if I was going to do on the comp was host game servers. i.e. Call of Duty Battlefield Tribes Unreal.

amd is definatly the best choice for a game server. the quality of the server really depends on the types of games that you plan to use.

for games like CS, a 500mhz system would run great.

for DOD, which put alot of strain on your proc, 2+ghz is a good idea.

As for dual processors, opteron is the most effective of every server chip, but also the most expensive.

You can use MP chips which are the same price as the XP's. BUT since AMD isnt making any MP chips anymore as of a few months ago, you can simply use two XP's (depending on the mobo you may have to mod them)

MP System:
Tyan MPX
2x Mobile XP 2500+
